• Cleaning the Interior: Regularly wipe down the highly reflective Mylar interior with a damp cloth to remove dust and debris, ensuring maximum light reflection.
• Cleaning the Exterior: The 600D Oxford canvas exterior can be cleaned with a mild soap solution and a damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals that may damage the fabric.
